TF1 Partners With YouTuber Gaspard G to Launch 'Les Dossiers' Ahead of 2027 Election

The move targets younger voters on the platforms where they get their news.

Overview

  • The series, which launched Wednesday, opened with a 45-minute interview with Jean‑Luc Mélenchon on TF1info, TF1+ and YouTube.
  • Each episode uses TF1 archives to retrace a guest’s life and political ideas, offering a long-form, social-first interview rather than a TV-style debate.
  • TF1 brings editorial oversight, funding and access to archives, while Gaspard G contributes a 1.5 million–subscriber audience that is about 70% aged 18 to 35.
  • TF1’s news chief Thierry Thuillier says the goal is to serve as a trusted guide for young viewers as the format adapts internet creator codes and a more relaxed tone.
  • Producers say campaign teams have responded well to invites, pointing to more high-profile guests as France’s 2027 presidential race draws closer.
